[MENTION=4736782]kaween[/MENTION] I was saying that the hidden menu disables the parking brake safety feature out the box without the need to root as opposed (contradict) to what I thought was your answer to his question. Apparently like a billion answers were posted before I submitted my reply, lol.

An update on the poor FM reception. If you have a car that has a shark fin antenna or no antenna at all there is a high probability that you have a built in OEM antenna amplifier. You should Google "poor FM reception aftermarket 'insert car model here'" and you will probably find a forum that discusses which factory wire you need to hook up to the "p. Antenna" wire of your unit.

I took out my unit last night and sure thing the antenna amp wire boosted FM reception in my Mercedes C230. While I was at it I installed the backup camera. Works rather nicely.

[MENTION=503524]spazfishy[/MENTION] 2 suggestions. If your phone has NFC, you can create an NFC tag and put it in your car and program it to auto start tethering and what ever else you want your phone to do while in the car. I am still having wpasupplicant issues so tethering is a no go for me right now which leads to my 2nd suggestion. If you are in the US try WWW.FreedomPop.com you pay $50 for a wireless hotspot and you get 500mb free every month with options for more
[Android Head-Units] festor:
When I first fitted the unit (OUKU) I enabled tethering on my Galaxy S2 and tried to connect to it with no joy. My previous unit (WinCE/Android) connected fine with the same settings. I read about the tethering problems with this unit and didn’t bother trying to sort it as I could use wireless at my house. I had the same issue with the original 2.3.4 and latest 2.3.7 firmware.

I recently updated my S2 from gingerbread to jellybean (I know I was in the dark ages lol) and noticed new settings within the tethering options. I changed it to “Allow all devices to connect” and surprisingly the head unit now connects with no issues. It’s still protected with a wpa2 key so this must just be an additional wps pairing that some routers use?

Anyway, I hope it’s that simple for anyone else having issues using their phone as a hotspot.

As I mentioned over 300 posts ago :) I have slightly poorer FM reception that the original Ford head unit. High signal national stations are fine, but some local stations do suffer from pops and clicks. It’s exactly the same as the previous third party head unit I used. AM reception is fine. There is no amp on my Ford antenna… the OUKU tuner is probably just lower quality and/or not matched to the aerial.

kaween, did installing Sygic increase boot time on your unit? It takes mine from 15/20 sec to 30/35 sec. It then takes a few sec to start and a few more to get a signal. I use it all the time and find it the best nav app… even better than purpose built sat navs IMHO. I’m guessing there is some background service it adds, but it would be great to only start it when needed and not at every boot.

Bluetooth fix

In case anyone else runs into a Bluetooth phone audio issue, a hard reset on the device fixes it.

Stick a paperclip in the (rst) hole while it's on and it reboots. Now my stock Bluetooth works again with my Samsung Galaxy Note 2. This does not wipe any data on the device. Even my clock/radio stations remained.

Hope that helps someone else as mine worked fine for the last few months then outta the blue.....
[Android Head-Units] kaween:
Nope. The boot time of the 802 remains exactly the same after installing. Switch power on till full active/radio plays : +/- 13 to 15 seconds. I know it sounds weird and I don't have an explenation for this behaviour, but sometimes the unit simply boots faster, but never slower than the 15 seconds mark. Sygic is not loaded during boot, hence my stating that simply installing it shouldn't have any impact on the boot time of the unit.

Launch Sygic : with a good Class10 SD card : 3 seconds flat between "press sygic" and "sygic screen active-current position visable on map". Class 6 takes about a second longer. During my tests in my basement with the antenna sticking out the skybox, reception/lock is Always active the moment Sygic comes up, No way it can make a cold fix that fast, so there's some kind of quick fix system working there no doubt. But as Sygic boots this fast, I'm not going to worry about autoloading it with every boot. Seems pointless. On my current WinCE headunit, Sygic takes 10 or so seconds to boot, Igo Primo 2 takes even longer, so on those devices an autoload in the background is a nice feature, but on the I802 it's a bit like a moot point.

Used version is 11.2.6 or something, not 100% sure about the sub version. But yeah, I like Sygic too. Have been using it on everything between Car PC's (don't know if they still support the Windows platform or not these days), WinCE's, Androids and IOS's, and even though I test other stuff like Igo Primo, Tomtom, Destinator .... I Always end up using Sygic.
[Android Head-Units] swiftmike99:
sygic adds 20 seconds to my boot time. I use google maps for now if I travel outside the country I might re-install sygic i am looking for something else, i would love tomtom
[Android Head-Units] kaween:
Incredible. 20 Seconds ?? I think that would drive me nuts. :( Is that on the OUKU-variant or is that a I802 device ?

By the way, Tomtom clearly takes more time on my I802 than Sygic does, though judiging first time start isn't fair : Tomtom's doing a sort of "autoconfig start" first time around, takes about 30 seconds. After that, Tomtom starts a lot faster, but it remains noticably slower than Sygic does.

Another issue I've got with Tomtom : On Sygic, voice of the Nav and another audio signal (Radio, Mediaplayer ....) get mixed. I like that.

On Tomtom, the Radio sound STOPS at the very first instruktion .... AND DOESN'T COME BACK ???? Very odd. No idea if that's a bug or wrong setting or whatever, but it's very annoying !
[Android Head-Units] bypo:
Yep, same problem here.

Sygic stops radio fm audio and also Tomtom does the same.

Navigon doesn't stop fm and navigation audio get mixed.

I don't know why this happens. Any hint?
[Android Head-Units] kaween:
Well, in my case only Tomtom shows that issue. Sygic works as intended in my version and correcty mixes the audio streams : only Tomtom misbehaves. What versions do you use, as it's odd that Sygic shows the same problem as Tomtom in your case.
[Android Head-Units] bypo:
I use last sygic version 13.1.4 and you?
[Android Head-Units] festor:
Are you setting them as the default nav app within the options?
[Android Head-Units] kaween:
11.2.6.

Had a lot of stability problems in the past with all android devices where I tried 13. Sygic forum is full of all kind of weird problems and complaints on those versions. As I need a 100% stable software to Judge the hardware, I'm still using the older 11.2.6.

---------- Post added at 11:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:40 PM ----------

Yep.
[Android Head-Units] adit9989:
the slot for GPS is called internally "sdnavi" and the other one is called "sdcard". If you install another file manager (like ES file manager) you can see both slots. The internal program just shows the sdcard slot. Most navigation programs require additional resources maps, pois which take a lot of space. They are kept on the SD card most likely. I was able to set IGo Primo to work from sdnavi slot but with some editing in configuration files. You need to be quite familiar with the GPS program you want to useto do this. I think your best bet is to use a big SD card (32 GB or 64 GB - reformatted as FAT32), and just use the second, media slot for all your apps.

---------- Post added at 08:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:59 PM ----------

Don't use Tomtom, but on IGO Primo the voice overlaps the radio. Even more, on Primo I can specify in configuration which audio channel to use, I set to use the "notification" channel for which I have a separate volume setting which I'm keeping it higher than Radio volume for example so I can hear the GPS voice louder over radio. This works for me, but there are other options probably. Different applications may have a different behavior so you may need to play with configurations if possible. I had problems with IGO sound on Jelly Bean devices (which changes how Android allocates the audio) and took some time to find those settings but they are useful now on this unit also.
[Android Head-Units] brownrt:
Do you not have a setting in the sound menu that allows you to set the default navigation app sound to a specific speaker?
[Android Head-Units] kaween:
As I said earlier, I used ES Explorer too to point and launch Sygic from the SDNavi location. No additional settings were needed : Sygic finds all the info automatically on the SDNavi (maps, sound, poi, ...).

About Igo Primo : is the audio config channel assignment done within Igo or does it depend on a generic setting of the radio itself ?

The I802 does NOT have a specific setting for speaker channel assignment as far as I know, only a generic volume settings menu where it contols all the sepperate volume settings of all input channels.
[Android Head-Units] adit9989:
For Primo, add in sys.txt:

[android]

navigation_audio_stream=5

;The 3 selects the music stream. Other streams are available by using these values:

;STREAM_ALARM - Value: 4

;STREAM_DTMF - Value: 8

;STREAM_MUSIC - Value: 3

;STREAM_NOTIFICATION - Value: 5

;STREAM_RING - Value: 2

;STREAM_SYSTEM - Value: 1

;STREAM_VOICE_CALL - Value: 0

This is what I have for this device as there is a separate setting for notification volume.(look on settings there is one entry for different volumes, 2 pages and a separate entry only for notification volume).You may experiment with other channels and see if you adjust the volume on the device from another slider, but this works well for me. The volume setting for "Navigation" does not have any effect for Primo. On My Nexus 7 and phone I keep the stream set to 3 same as the music if not the default one (which one ?) is way to low maybe 30 % of the music and can not be increased.

For the path I had to add sdnavi in the path in sys.txt (it has a long list of possible names but sdnavi is not in there.) You can of course keep just the sdnavi. Sygic may be "smarter" and do the check itself, but Primo is looking for that list of paths.

[folders]

I played with Sygic interface is nice, did not really test it but I read complains about routing engine. Primo is fine for me I used a lot the CE version and I suppose the engine is the same in Android, but did not use it on long drives , will see. I was using Ivona TTS voices but I had problems a few time that somehow the TTS voice disappears from list after power on Primo (never had this problem on the other devices). Switched to SVOX and it seems to work, the voice stays. It may be a glitch, but SVOX shows compatible in market and Ivona does not so may be related to Android version.
[Android Head-Units] madamko:
I use iGO Primo with TTS Ivona and SVOX. I have this same problem what adit9998 - TTS IVONA voice disappears from list after power on Primo. SVOX working ok.

Still I have problem with automatic start iGO ( this same problem is with Sygic) -not resolved

I tested Sygic 11.2.6 - working ok, and the voices overlaps the radio

So yesterday I bought Sygic and installed new from the shop. On this version ( 13.1.4 ) the voice stops radio :(
[Android Head-Units] adit9989:
Does Sygic appear on the market as compatible for your device, or did you spoof your device ? There are a lot of apps which show incompatible on market, for free ones I do a backup and do side loading but I have a few I paid for and can not install them because license checking. I bought some time ago another TTS voice from CERE, works on phone and tablet but after I side loaded it it did not work after reboot (I think does a license check). I can not install it from market because it says is incompatible with this device.

From TTS I like them in this order: Ivona, Cere, Svox (Ivona sounds most natural from all), but only Svox works at this moment. CERE appeared to work but has the license check, which should be fixed if I get to install it from market. I'm hesitant to play to much on the low level like editing system files because I don't have a custom recovery in case something goes wrong like on phone/tablet. Resetting to factory defaults reinstalls the apps and clears the cache but does not touch the kernel (I did not loose the root after doing it, so need to be careful with changes at the OS level).

I do not start the Navi automatically, only when needed, set Primo on the main screen and on the Navi button, but yes, you need to have the SD mounted before you start. If you are rooted and have BusyBox installed, I'm sure you can run some scripts at startup which will wait for card to be mounted first and launch the Navi after (some Linux experts should be able to do this).

Steering wheel control connection...

Does all the units (Ouko, S150 and I802) connect to a steering wheel control module by single leads or does any of the units connect with a plug? Have to know to order the right module. I'm going to buy a S150 unit (if that's the one without any knobs, just buttons). Anyway, it's this unit: http://www.ebay.com/itm/181037867549?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

[Android Head-Units] adit9989:
The unit from link is probably Ouko. S150/I802 has a Samsung CPU and the radio interface is different from photo. I have the unit as a kit for a specific car (Hyundai Santa Fe (IX45) in my case) which includes a proper faceplate (you can not mount a standard 2 DIN unit without the faceplate in my car), and also includes proper cable (plug and play) from the unit connectors to the existing car connector. The cable has proper plug in connectors for the unit. I've seen kits for another car models also, but probably for new models this and last year's models only.

You also need to set the proper CAN bus type in manufacturer's hidden menu if not the steering wheel controls will not work. For OUKU may be different.

So I guess, if you buy a non kit unit like the one from the link you will need to make your own cables to adapter as there is no standard, every manufacturer make it's own connectors on the back. On S150 at least is only connectors (automotive types but different numbers of pins) no cables sticking out like I've seen on other models.

I bought my unit from this seller: http://stores.ebay.com/ULikeShop?_trksid=p2047675.l2563 , got it in 5 days. Look at the units which have the "Orbitz" image on screen, they are all S150 some as a specific car kits (faceplate, mounting hardware,CAN bus PnP cables) or as standard 2 DIN units).

Experiences with another pure Android unit

I'm at the moment helping a friend to install HU with the same UI as the one Peter from Pumpkin teases in this video: http://youtu.be/W_Kbm09cHQQ

It is this unit: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/1-2G...er-For-VOLVO-S60-V70-2001-2004/911383356.html

The unit comes factory ready for Torque/OBD via BT.

It has a built in wifi-antenna.

It has just one regular USB-port in the back, where you can connect to your iPhone/iPod(supports iPhone 5) via the standard Aplle cable or an Android phone.

It has a multitouch screen, but I think it is some kind resistive, as it isn't the same feel as my true capasitive screen on my TUN21A unit.

The radio app as very bad, not very user freindly, and the radiostation names are hardly readable.

The iPod/iPhone app is very bad, it only shows you the folders of your music, not listed in albums, artists or playlists.

The BT app has an improvement over the Ouku, it has a search function in the phonebook, and it has a button where you can switch between speaking via stereo or the phone during calls, without disconnecting the bt-connection.

I find the stock launcher(Nexus launcher) to be a little bit messy, but after some personal customisation, it works OK.

It looks like it support CAN-bus SWC without any adapters. (As discussed in the previous reply)

It has a very fast boot time, about 15 seconds. And it goes into some kind of sleep mode for a good while after switching of the ignition. Havent really timed it, but for at least an hour, maybe more. Then it will pop right up instantaniously after you turn on the ignition.

It runs a pure version of Android 2.3.4

It comes with iGO navigation pre-installed.

It has the ability to connect to a second camera witch yuo can use as a DVR.

All in all, it has some nice features witch the Ouku/TUN21A does not have, but considering the lack of hardware-buttons for home, menu and back. I like the Ouku better.

Then I have some questions for the more experinced: Do you think this unit can be rooted by using Framaroot like the S150/i802? And if so, is it possible to extract the BT apk, and port it over to the Ouku/TUN21A? And vice versa, extract the radio apk from the Ouku and port it over to this unit? Eould be nice to have those extra functions in the BT app. :)
[Android Head-Units] adit9989:
This is a different unit Neither Ouku or S150. The hardware may be the same as S150 (Samsung S5PV210 ) but the software applications are very different. Also on S150 the CAN bus typein the hidden factory settings (which were not in the manual) has a long list but only with Chinese characters. For me the second entry worked (the first one may have been OFF in Chinese). Try one by one and see which one works. For rooting I think Framaroot should work as the OS version is the same but until you try you will not know. You are luky that the included full BT stack so you can use Torque, so at least this is a plus.

About connecting no idea , my S150 with car specific kit had a cable which also had a plastic box (CAN bus) which plugged on the unit on one side and on the existing cable on the other side but I did not install it myself so I don't have details (I never installed anything in a car).

The sleep option you have is very good, the S150 shuts down immediately, but the boot time is also 13-15 seconds so not to bad.

I'm glad to see improvements , next step will be to get multicore CPUs with high resolution screens.

---------- Post added at 08:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:59 PM ----------

Yes, this looks like S150. I think S150 is same as I802 but they are different from Ouku.
